Egypt will host an international summit in the Red Sea city of Sharm El-Sheikh on Monday, gathering leaders from over 20 nations in a renewed effort to end the Gaza war and restore regional peace and stability. The meeting, titled Sharm El-Sheikh Summit for Peace, will be co-chaired by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and US President Donald Trump. It will focus on securing a ceasefire in Gaza, easing regional tensions, and charting a path toward lasting peace, according to a statement from the Egyptian presidency. Egypt described the summit as part of Trump's broader vision for achieving peace in the region and his ongoing efforts to end conflicts worldwide. Cairo has played a central role in mediation efforts between Israel and Palestinian factions, leveraging its regional ties and longstanding relationship with Washington. The event could hint at a broader US effort to reclaim a leading role in Middle East diplomacy after a prolonged lull in peace initiatives. Attribution: Amwal Al Ghad English
